Fast And Slow Patching in Canvas App

Patching in Canvas app can be done in different ways. But the main concern of developer is to deal with speed of operation with all basic requirements fulfillments.

Patch() with ForAll() is taking more process time then Patch() direct statement.

Let’s look into some example to get more deeper and clearer look.

If we have survey for pets and want to insert data in dataverse table using both options one by one.

First get data on App Start

Bind Gallery with Collection

Add Code for Slow Patching with time difference calculation

Now Add code for Fat Patching with time difference calculation

Now Its time to find the result. Here is the result of slow patching

And the result of Fast patching is

Slow patching executes in 8417 milliseconds while fast patching executes 62 milliseconds

Note: Number of column in collection should be at least 2 because in fast patching we need unique identifier key in collection to match with record in dataverse table
